All assets and liabilities of the NCE division will be transferred toPHL at book value.
Since April 2007, when PLSL was de-merged from PHL as an independent discovery researchcompany, it has made significant progress. The pipeline of R&D programs has increasedfrom nine to twenty four with nine additional programs moving into Phase I/II clinicaltrials and two additional program moving into
Phase II clinical trials. Subsequent to the significant progress that PLSL has made,the risk profile of NCE R&D activity has reduced considerably.
